[Scan-DC] Montgomery Co EMS Ops

Andy, I had the same impressions all the way around... altho they do 
_occasionally_ give hospital stati (!) on the half-hour or hour, but not 
regularly (I think - at least they were!)

Another thing that seems to have disappeared quickly is the MPDS or Clawson 
codes - maybe those aren't going out verbally either...
